Third Spaces: Building Belonging Beyond Home and Work
In a comprehensive discussion with leading sociologist, Eric Klinenberg, and state and municipal officials, we will convene an extensive conversation rooted in Klinenberg’s best-selling book Palaces for the People: How Social Infrastructure Can Help Fight Inequity, Polarization and the Decline of Civic Life. The event will spotlight how third spaces are crucial to our communities and the ways in which we are working to expand and operate these spaces beyond work and home, connecting us all.
